- LEDs Light Emitting Diodes
- Background of Invention The uses for LEDs have grown. In particular, there is increase interest in the employment of LEDs as light sources for projection engines/system. This growth has been due in large part to the increase in the light output of the LEDs. Historically, the low light output from LEDs made them impractical for use in applications requiring significant light output, for example, in outdoor applications. However, as LED light output continues to increase, LEDs are finding application in an increase number of areas.

- FIG. 10 illustrates a system wherein thermal feedback is utilized to control the output of an LED, in accordance with another embodiment.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a block diagram view of a projection system for projecting images, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
- LEDs are frequently rated with a certain light output characteristics at a particular junction temperature (i.e.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a relative light output for a particular green LED as a function of junction temperature. As the junction temperature increases, generally, the relative light output value is reduced relative to the value at 25 degrees C.
- the particular green LED for example, may have a relative light output of 80% of its 25 degree value at 70 degrees C 183.
- the particular green LED may have a relative light output of only 60% of its 25 degree C value at 120 degree C 185. Thus, cooling an LED may provide the ability to produce greater light output when compared to an uncooled LED.

- the hot end 234 of the thermoelectric cooler is coupled to a heat sink 240.
- the heat sink is disposed in a forced air flow 250 to provide for greater cooling.

- the forced air flow may be utilized to cool the thermoelectric cooler directly without the use of a heat sink.
- thermoelectric cooler 210 in alternative embodiments the coupling may be just thermal in nature.
- the temperature on the hot side of the thermoelectric cooler may be substantially higher than the temperature of the un-cooled LED.
- more extensive method of dissipating the higher temperature may be employed.
- a larger heat sink may be employed to cool both the thermoelectric cooler and the LED.
- a determination may be made on whether the added expenditure of the larger heat sink is justified, in view of the resulting opportunity to obtain a higher light output.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an LED with an alternative arrangement in accordance with one embodiment. Illustrated in FIG. 3, the LED 310 is mounted on printed circuit board 320 having a metal core, e.g. an aluminum core.

- the other ends of the cooling sticks 340 are in a forced air flow 350.
- As the refrigerant heats inside the thermal block it vaporizes and is transferred to the cooler sides 344 of the heat sticks in the forced airflow. The vapor then condenses and the cooler condensed liquid is transferred back to the warmer sides 342 of the heat sticks.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an LED cooling scenario utilizing cooling sticks in accordance with another embodiment.
- the sides of the cooling sticks 440 not in the thermal block are coupled to one or more heat sinks 460.

- FIG. 9 illustrates a system wherein thermal feedback is utilized to control the output of an LED 910, in accordance with one embodiment.
- a thermal sensor 930 is thermally coupled to the LED 910.
- Signals 935 from the thermal sensor 930 may be sent to a processor 940.
- the processor 940 controls an LED driver 920 that, in turn, controls the LED 910.
- the processor 940 may be executing software instructions containing algorithms designed to analyze the feedback thermal information from the thermal sensor 930 and provide control information to the LED driver 920. For example, if the LED 910 is too hot, the LED driver 920 may be instructed by the processor via a control value to attenuate the light output of the LED 910. This attenuation may be accomplished by the processor 940 "looking up" a new control value from a table stored in memory 945.
- the table may contain control values for particular thermal information provided to the processor 940 by the thermal sensor 930.

In this case, it may be desirable to increase the cooling of the LED by the cooling system 1050.
- a forced air cooling solution may increase the cooling of the LED 1010 by increasing the forced air flow 1070 across a heat exchanger.
